KUALA LUMPUR:Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV) Group President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Datuk Zakaria Arshad is expected to give his statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) this afternoon.

His presence is believed to be linked to his call for the MACC to investigate the entire FGV, including the Delima Oil case.

Astro AWANI understands that Zakaria will be at the MACC headquarters at 2.30pm.

On Tuesday, the board of FGV has asked Zakaria, who was appointed CEO on April 1 last year, to go on immediate leave, due to an investigation into certain transactions by its subsidiary, Delima Oil.
